Trouble installing mpi4py

[Predrag Punosevac]

I just had a quick look. Software appears to be untested by upstream
on Red Hat derivatives which we use in the lab. I would firstly try to
install the software on a spear laptop of a desktop running one of
tested OSs (Ubunut or OS X). It that works and if software looks
useful you should add yourself to one of the developer mailing list
and we could try to install it on a Red Hat.

Nuclear option is that we use singularity

https://sylabs.io/docs/

to run Ubuntu kernel in Red Hat userland if that is the only way to
install things.

Note that most large government labs in U.S. use Red Hat just like we
do so upstream should get their act together.

Unfortunately, I'm having a lot of trouble installing it, and none of the solutions I could find online appear to be working. I was wondering if anyone has faced this issue/how you were able to resolve it?
